Unfortunately some endometrioses patients may be completely asymptomatic while others experience emotional and physical pain that is almost unbearable. For those who are not asymptomatic, the patients may experience anywhere from one to all of the following symptoms: pain before and during periods, pain with intercourse, general, chronic pelvic pain through the month, low Back pain, heave and/or irregular periods, painful bowel movements, painful urination during menstruation, fatigue, infertility, diarrhea or constipation, nausea and vomiting, headaches, pain during intercourse, low-grade fevers, depression, hypoglycemia, anxiety and increased susceptibility to infections or Allergies . According to Harvard Women's Health Watch, the most common symptom that most women experience with endometriosis is severe menstrual cramps, gastrointestinal problems, and pain during intercourse. Women who experience postpartum endometriosis, generally have different symptoms than those who develop endometriosis naturally. Their symptoms are generally fever, increased pulse, chills, anorexia, nausea, fatigue and lethargy, pelvic pain, uterine tenderness and/or foul smelling. Some women may also become anemic. Within 36 to 48 hours, blood cultures should reveal any evidence of endometriosis.

Some women who have endometriosis may not have any signs or symptoms at all.

Endometriosis symptoms are often most severe just before or during menstruation, and usually get better as your period ends. However, for others, pain is ongoing and does not ease up at anytime during their cycle.

Common symptoms include:

Pain

Pelvic Pain

Severe mentrual cramping

Low backache

Pain during sexual intercourse

Rectal pain

Pain during bowel movements

Infertility

This may be the only sign that you might have endometriosis. 20-40% of infertile women have endometriosis.

Abnormal Bleeding

Blood in urine or stool

Some vaginal bleeding before the start of menstruation

Bleeding after intercourse

Increasingly heavy bleeding during menstruation

Absolutely no regularity to periods in regards to heaviness, lightness, when it occurs, how often it occurs (seemingly no schedule), etc.

Larger endometrial growths do not necessarily mean they are more painful. The severity of pain is linked more to the location or depth of the implant.

Endometriosis can not be detected through ultrasound, MRI, XRay, etc, unless it is a rather severe stage of development. Instead, endometriosis is diagnosed only through exploratory laparascopic surgery, which is when a surgeon will likely go ahead and remove or repair the implants that he finds.

If you have one or more of these symptoms, consult with your OB/GYN. Endometriosis is not a life-threatening illness (except possibly to a fetus during pregnancy - can cause a miscarriage), but it is a rather difficult and annoying life-long process to deal with.

On the other hand, the main symptom of chronic endometritis include increasing of leucorrhea, if patient is old, he or she will have symptoms of limpid leucorrhea and bloody leucorrhea.

Some people have been known to patch up their furniture using gorilla glue. It is extremely strong so you only need a tiny amount. Also it tends to seep out and form clumps so watch that carefully too.

I don't believe there is something that you can paint on to repair the umbrella. If it has a tear, you can glue it. If it has a hole, you can use a canvas patch kit to repair the hole. You should stitch or iron the patch over the hole according to the instructions.

Does endometriosis smell?

Endometriosis does not necessarily have an odor, or at least not one that you would be able to detect, since endometriosis is inside of you. If you are experiencing vaginal odor, it is most likely not endometriosis, and you should visit your OB GYN with your concerns.


Could you have endometriosis if you already have a child?

Yes. Having a child does not protect you from endometriosis. While having endometriosis often makes becoming pregnant difficult for women, becoming pregnant will also reduce the symptoms of endometriosis. So, being diagnosed with endometriosis after having a child makes it rather difficult for your doctor to determine whether you had endometriosis prior to the pregnancy or if it became an issue post-pregnancy - especially if you were positively diagnosed with endometriosis shortly after giving birth.


Do you have periods if you have endometriosis?

All women are different. Some women with endometriosis will not have regular periods. However, there are also women with endometriosis that either have irregular periods, or even those that have very regular periods. If you think you may have endometriosis, see your OB GYN.
